[Dovecot] How do i translate the old default_mail_env setting?

Hi,

First, I am new to dovecot.  Before my Jan '08 meltdown,
sendmail was sufficient.  A friend set up dovecot and since
things just-worked, I was happy with that.  Now I have a new 
mailserver and what was installed nearly two years ago fails.

My pal installed things in dovecot.conf this way:

default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir

but the new mail environment is too different to be readily
understood.  --At least for me!--  The "%u" variable is
confusing; so in the "%h" ($HOME [?]) variable...

Would the following edit work on my old conf file:


mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir  ?

tia,

gary kline
